Semester 4, Week 11, Day 5: Oregon Grape Actions

Well, yesterday was very productive but I'm waiting to see if I have to redo my interview for Health and Wellness.  Apparently I'm not the only one confused.  I got the essay that was due for Toxicology turned in and he even graded it already!  I got a 100.  I also got all the comments done on the rest of the discussion threads.  This means for this module, I have remaining the outline for my capstone presentation and the quiz for toxicology.  I think I want to try to get the first week of module 7 done as well but that may be a stretch. That is the last module for each class.  I may be able to get that done for 2 classes but not capstone which would still be okay with the time I have. I keep changing my plan of attack, I know. Just trying to figure out what will work best. 

The children seem to be having a good day so far. My daughter got in so much trouble yesterday and she got some really good sleep last night. She needed it but I couldn't get her to take a nap yesterday. It's all good.  We got through it!

On to Oregon Grape!

antimalarial means it's good against malaria.

antipsoriatic is good against psoriasis.

recuse psoriasis: See antipsoriatic.

Constituents: Alkaloids of isoquinoline (berberine, berbermine, hydrastine, oxycanthine) (Hoffman, 2003, p. 564). Petersen (2018) adds the alkaloid jatrorrhizine – it and berberine are antibacterial and antifungal. Jatrorrhizine and magnoflorine are antioxidants (p. 184-5). Mills & Bone (2010) state flavonoids (magnoflorine, berberine, jatrorrhizine, columbamine, pxyacanthine, oxyberberine, berbamine, aromoline, baluchistine, and aquifoline); palmatine may be included in this list. It doesn’t have as much berberine as barberry or goldenseal (p. 520). Chevallier (2016) says isoquinoline alkaloids (berberine, berbamine, and hydrastine); and aporphine-type alkaloids (p. 177).

Have a Great Day!
